I have tried to print my layout at 25% full size to build a model before attempting to cut timber. I have found that the template sheets do not overlap correctly. Information is missing between sheets. The planned sheets seem to be OK on the screen before printing.

I am printing on A3 paper.

Hi Peter,

Can you say a bit more about what seems to be missing? Are you seeing the trim lines on each page?

I have just tried printing your Dale track plan at 25% and all appears fine. The trim lines are correctly matched between sheets.

Are you sure you have set the correct paper size on the printer to match the physical paper you are using? There are two A3 sizes -- normal A3 (297mm x 420mm), and A3+ or SuperA3 (13" x 19") which is much bigger.

If you load A3 paper but set the printer to A3+ paper size, you will lose about 2" of printing on each page.

regards,

Martin.
